PETALING JAYA: Whatever happens in the United States has a bearing on the rest of the world, including Malaysia ... or so we think.
The truth is, for several analysts theSun spoke to yesterday, whoever wins the US presidential race next week will hardly make a dent on Malaysia, especially now that the country is itself engrossed in a power struggle of its own.
However, one analyst offers a contrarian view. Dr Ngeow Chow Bing, director of the Institute of China Studies at University Malaya, believes the result of the election will have a deep impact on US-Malaysia ties.
“Joe Biden of the Democratic party will seek a multilateral approach, thus giving room through diplomacy and negotiations to avoid outright conflict, unlike incumbent President Donald Trump (pix) of the Republican party,” he said.
